Turned furniture leg MN-239

Architectural form: vertical symmetry of spherical elements

Turned furniture leg MN-239 represents a unique design solution based on rhythmic alternation of perfectly turned wooden spheres. Each leg consists of sequentially arranged spherical elements smoothly transitioning into one another, creating an expressive vertical composition. Such a form visually resembles a sculptural object and transforms a functional furniture element into a piece of modern applied art.

Geometric basis of model MN-239 is built on the principle of repeating module — each sphere has the same diameter of 109 mm, creating a clear visual rhythm and stable perception of the entire structure. The number of spherical elements varies depending on the selected height: the higher the leg, the more wooden spheres are included in its composition, while maintaining ideal proportionality and visual balance.

Smooth transitions between individual elements ensure a unified perception of the structure, while rounded shapes soften the visual bulkiness of large furniture. The spherical shape of each element is crafted with jewel-like precision on high-tech turning equipment, guaranteeing perfect coaxial alignment of all components and absolute symmetry relative to the central axis.

Model MN-239 fits perfectly into the concept of modern interior styles — Scandinavian minimalism, Japanese Zen, eco-style, Nordic design, contemporary, and new classic. Thanks to its unusual sculptural form, the item becomes an accent decorative element, attracting attention and highlighting the uniqueness of the space. This model looks especially striking in interiors with minimal decor, where each item carries both semantic and aesthetic weight.

Premium quality materials: solid oak and beech

Production of turned leg MN-239 is exclusively from carefully selected oak or beech wood — species that have been considered the standard for strength, durability, and aesthetic expressiveness for centuries. Solid oak has the highest density of structure, natural resistance to mechanical impacts, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.

Oak wood has a distinct texture with characteristic growth ring and medullary ray patterns, giving each item a unique natural pattern. The color palette of oak wood varies from light golden and honey tones to rich brown shades with reddish or gray undertones, allowing the leg to harmoniously integrate into various color interior solutions.

Radial sawing of oak is especially valuable, as the wood grain runs parallel to the surface, creating a striped pattern effect and ensuring maximum dimensional stability. Oak wood is not afraid of increased humidity, resistant to fungal damage, and retains its operational characteristics for decades.

Solid beech has a uniform fine-grained structure, soft pink or cream tone, and high workability. Beech wood has uniform density throughout its volume, eliminating internal stresses and cracking even when creating complex turned forms. Beech does not warp, is excellent for staining, lacquering, painting, and patination.

Before processing, the wood undergoes multi-stage kiln drying to achieve a moisture content of 8±2%, which corresponds to international standards for furniture production. Such moisture ensures dimensional stability of the product during use in heated rooms and prevents deformation, cracking, or warping.

Each MN-239 leg undergoes precision processing on modern CNC turning equipment, ensuring identical elements within each batch and enabling the production of sets of four, six, or eight legs with absolute dimensional consistency. After turning, the item undergoes multi-stage sanding with gradually decreasing abrasive grit — from coarse initial sanding to final polishing with fine-grit materials.

High-quality sanding guarantees a perfectly smooth surface without burrs, roughness, scratches, or other defects. The leg’s surface after sanding acquires a silky texture, highlighting the natural beauty of the wood and its inherent grain. The absence of sharp edges makes the item completely safe for use in children’s furniture and spaces with heightened safety requirements.

Size range: three height variants for various types of furniture

Turned furniture leg MN-239 is available in three standard size variants, allowing optimal selection for a wide range of furniture constructions.

Compact variant 423 × 109 mm — ideal solution for low furniture, including coffee tables, side tables, benches, ottomans, children’s chairs, bedside tables, and low chests. This height creates visual lightness and suits furniture in minimalist interiors. Compact size ensures stability despite small dimensions and allows implementing the concept of low-profile furniture, characteristic of Japanese and Scandinavian design. Legs of this height are ideal for creating furniture for children’s rooms, where safety and stability are required.

Universal variant 634 × 109 mm — most popular size for standard mid-height furniture. Suitable for dining tables, work tables, writing desks, consoles, chests, beds, chairs, and armchairs. Provides optimal balance of functionality and aesthetics. This height meets standard ergonomic requirements for dining and work furniture, ensuring comfortable seating and ease of use. Universal size allows creating furniture sets in a unified style for various functional zones of living space.

High variant 740 × 109 mm — designed for high furniture, including bar tables, bar stools, high consoles, shelves, display cases, and decorative stands. This size emphasizes the vertical composition of the item and creates a striking visual accent in the interior. High legs visually lighten heavy furniture, creating a floating effect above the floor. Ideal for zoning spaces in studios and apartments with open floor plans, where a bar counter or high console serves as a functional room divider.

Diameter 109 mm remains unchanged for all height variants, ensuring visual unity and enabling combination of different sizes within a single interior project. Such diameter provides sufficient load-bearing capacity for furniture of various masses and withstands a load of up to 150 kilograms per leg under proper installation.

Installation and operational features

Upper part of turned leg MN-239 is equipped with a flat mounting plate with a pre-drilled central hole for fastening. The hole diameter is 8 mm, allowing use of standard furniture screws M8 or bolts of corresponding diameter. The hole depth is calculated for optimal connection strength and ranges from 40 to 50 mm depending on the leg’s total height.

Mounting plate has an increased diameter relative to the main body of the leg, ensuring secure contact with the tabletop or furniture panel and even load distribution. The plate’s flat surface is carefully sanded and perpendicular to the leg’s axis, eliminating misalignment during installation and ensuring structural stability.

To mount legs to furniture, it is recommended to use furniture screws with metric thread M8, which are screwed into pre-installed threaded bushings or mounting nuts in the tabletop. Alternative mounting method — using long confirmers or furniture screws that pass through the hole in the leg and are screwed directly into the furniture panel. When using this method, it is important to ensure precise drilling to avoid splitting the wood.

Lower part of the leg ends in a hemisphere, ensuring stable contact with the floor covering and even load distribution. The rounded shape of the lower part prevents indentation of soft floor coverings such as linoleum or vinyl and avoids dents on parquet or laminate. For additional protection of the floor covering, it is recommended to install wool or felt caps with a diameter of 30–40 mm on the lower part of the legs.

When installing MN-239 legs on furniture, it is necessary to consider load distribution and ensure symmetrical placement of supports. For rectangular tabletops, the optimal number of legs is four, placed at the corners with 50–100 mm clearance from the edge. For large tables over 2000 mm in length, it is recommended to use six legs with additional supports installed at the center of the long sides.

Finishing options and decorative possibilities

Turned furniture leg MN-239 is supplied in an uncolored state, offering wide possibilities for implementing original design solutions. The carefully sanded surface is ready for application of any type of lacquer or paint — from transparent varnishes to covering enamels and decorative patinas.

Transparent lacquer finish allows preserving and emphasizing the natural wood texture, enhancing the visual expressiveness of the natural grain. It is recommended to use water-based polyurethane or acrylic lacquers that do not yellow over time and provide long-lasting surface protection. Lacquer can be applied with varying degrees of gloss — from matte to high-gloss — depending on the overall interior concept.

Staining allows changing the wood's color while preserving its visible texture. Stains and toners penetrate the wood's structure and color it to the full depth, ensuring even coloration even with minor scratches during use. Popular staining options include walnut, wenge, mahogany, padouk, white oak, and gray oak.

Enamel coating allows creating furniture in any color from the RAL or NCS scale. White enameled legs are ideal for Scandinavian style and French classic, black creates contrasting accents in minimalist interiors, colored enamels are used for creating bright designer solutions. It is recommended to use professional furniture enamels with high opacity and durability.

Decorative patination and aging allow creating an antique or vintage furniture effect. The patination technique includes applying a base color, light mechanical processing of protruding parts, and applying a contrasting shade into recesses, which emphasizes the volume of spherical elements and creates depth of form.

Combined finishing involves combining different techniques—for example, painting the main body of the leg white while preserving the natural oak tone on the mounting surface, or contrasting highlighting of individual spherical elements. Such solutions require a certain level of skill but allow creating unique furniture pieces.

Areas of application and usage recommendations

The turned furniture leg MN-239 is versatile and suitable for creating a wide range of furniture items. The most common application is dining and coffee tables, where the spherical shape of the legs creates an interesting contrast with the tabletop's flatness. Four MN-239 legs can support a heavy solid-core tabletop and ensure structural stability even under significant load.

Desk and work tables on MN-239 legs acquire lightness and airiness, visually lightening the heavy working surface. Minimalist tables with light oak or beech tabletops on contrasting dark legs, or vice versa—dark tabletops on white enameled legs—look especially striking.

Console tables and dressing tables on sculptural MN-239 legs become independent art objects in the interior. A narrow console along the hallway or living room wall gains elegance and refinement due to the unusual shape of the supports.

Banquettes, ottomans, and benches on low MN-239 legs create unity in the interior ensemble and support the overall stylistic line. A soft bench at the foot of the bed or in the hallway on spherical legs looks elegant and modern.

Beds on high MN-239 legs ensure free air circulation under the sleeping area and facilitate room cleaning. Visually elevated above the floor, the bed creates a sense of lightness and spaciousness even in a small bedroom.

Shelving units and bookcases on turned legs acquire the character of transformable furniture, which can be moved if necessary. Unlike stationary built-in structures, furniture on legs retains mobility and allows changing the room layout.

Bar counters and high tables for kitchen-living areas on MN-239 legs create a striking accent for space zoning. The rhythmic arrangement of spherical elements visually supports the vertical composition of the interior and emphasizes the room's height.
